If u keep the light at least 16 hours per day u could keep it forever
Like mother plants you can keep them for years and take cuttings to make clones and grow to flower by switching to 12 12 light on and off

Just as decoration in my house, they have legalised it here in Canada and I think it’s something that should be celebrated

I give her 10 hours of supplemental light per night (~15 moles).

Yes! Although I want to shape it differently

Yeppers you can. As long as there is enough light it will keep growing. Finding the right feeding program may take some time. You want it well fed but not growing fast. That could be tough. With new LED lights and legal places to do it. Marijuana house plants are quite doable.

There is the strong smell factor too

I’m not concerned with the smell, just need to know how to stop it dieing. So provided it has 16 hrs of light it will remain in veg and grow constantly. Would I need to upsize the pot eventually?
You can periodically repot. Knock the plant out of the pot when it gets root-bound, cut the roots back an inch or two all around, put back into pot with fresh soil. Same as any houseplant you want to keep about the same size.

Plants do a lot of their stretching in darkness. It might be best to give a plant more than 16 hrs just to keep it from flowering. As weird as it sounds more light might be better. Up it to 20 or 24 hrs and it might help.
When you do the re-pots don't go very much bigger each time or you may end up with to big of a pot fast. Even with trimming the roots back a slightly larger pot will help for plant health. Hopefully you can get a year or 2 with one. Sooner or later it will get to big. Time it right and you can move it outside and harvest a tree.

I was actually thinking about growing a male plant as a house plant. Seems silly to waste a female plant as a decorative piece

That is a great use for a male. I have regenerated a male plant and kept it in veg before. While it didn't make buds it still produce male flowers and released small amounts of pollen. Something to be aware of if you have females around. Still doable in some cases.
Find a great male and you would be able to clone and bred it when needed LMAO.

My females will be outside in the garden so I’m not too worried about pollination. I think keeping one as a display piece is a nice way to celebrate legalisation
